Thus, it is most likely that TREZOR will announce three winners, from each topic.The first category, hacking TREZOR, requires developers to explore the potential and various applications of TREZOR hardware. Participants are also welcomed to explore into the security and bugs of TREZOR hardware.

The third and last category, TREZOR design, expects designers to introduce simple yet efficient user interface for TREZOR firmware, websites, and applications. Designers that create useful and cool accessories will also be eligible to win the hackathon in this category.

The TREZOR 2.0 Hackathon is a platform developers and designers to collaborate in creating a more secure and enhanced bitcoin ecosystem for companies and regular users. By exploring into the protection of online privacy, digital assets and identity, the developers at the hackathon will be challenged to encounter and improve the limitations of current cryptocurrency and blockchain-based systems.
